Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
$\text{When X is joined to Y for a long time then the steady state current through inductor will be I= }\frac{E}{R_1}$
$\text{ Magnetic Energy stored in the inductor is } U = \frac{1}{2} LI^2 = \frac{1}{2} L \frac{E^2}{R_1^2} = \frac{LE^2}{2I_1^2}$
$\text{All this energy will be converted in to heat when X is connected to Z is } H = \frac{LE^2}{2I_1^2}$
